High-Quality Lighting
The PavoTube II 6C allows a myriad of color combinations to blend in seamlessly with ambient light conditions, match other fixtures, or express creative effects. A full spectrum RGB mode enables its red, green, and blue LEDs to select from 360 colors with hue control. It has a variable CCT range of 2700 to 7500K with a CRI/TLCI of 95/97, ensuring colors and skin tones are reproduced with a high degree of accuracy. Light intensity is adjustable as well, from 0 to 100%.
Onboard and Wireless Remote Control
The PavoTube II 6C's easy-to-use onboard display and buttons let you dial temperature from warm to cold (2700 to 7500K) or adjust hue and saturation in RGB mode. Go from cool to warmer tones and everywhere in between and find the right level of illumination for your scene. With built-in Bluetooth and a 2.4 GHz connection, it can be wirelessly controlled from your smartphone using the free NANLINK app. Control is also possible via the brand's separately available RC-1 and WS-RC-C1 remotes.
Magnetic Mounting and Portability
Giving you flexible mounting possibilities, the PavoTube II 6C is compatible with most T12 diameter accessories and features two 1/4"-20 receivers as well as powerful magnets for attaching to metal surfaces. You can mount this lightweight 9.2 ounces light in various lighting setups, especially when space is at a minimum or in a challenging environment, which makes it a convenient and portable on-the-go lighting solution.
Special Lighting Effects
With pre-programmed customizable special effects, the Pavotube II 6C makes it easy to simulate specific and creative lighting scenarios that can otherwise be tricky to recreate. Imitate different lighting effects including hue loop, CCT loop, INT loop, CCT flash, hue flash, CCT pulse, hue pulse, storm, police car, TV, paparazzi, fire, disco, bad bulb, fireworks, explosion, and welding.

How many amps of power do I need to get this light not to pulse over 80%?
Asked by: Cindy
The specs call for the power supply to provide 15 volts, and the charge cable supplied is USB-C, which can provide up to 20 volts. Plugging it into USB-A with an adapter might not be supplying enough power.
